Plots of Assassination.
The New York Times has discovered a wonderful plot for throwing Lincoln's car from the truck on the Harrisburg Railroad.--It asserts that ‘"the list of the names of the conspirators presented a most astonishing array of persons high in Southern confidence, and some whose fame is not in this country alone. Statesmen laid the plan, bankers endorsed it, and adventurers were to carry it into effect. "’ Of course there is not a word of truth in this. It is not as probable as the story of the attempt to poison Mr. Buchanan at the National Hotel in Washington, on the eve of his inauguration. It will be remembered that the President elect was made very sick by something which he ate or drank at that hotel, and that hundreds of other guests, of both sexes, suffered from the same cause, many of them dying and exhibiting all the internal evidences of poison. The matter was never satisfactorily accounted for. About this time, we must expect sensation stories.
